Our ocean in crisis KS3 is a resource for year 7, year 8, and year 9 students.

This lesson challenges students to think about the potential myths we have been led to believe through selective media representation, by completing a true, false or uncertain activity.

Students are then asked to think about the different motivations media outlets or organisations might have. Students conduct research about an ‘Ocean hero’ and create a poster outlining the impact of their work.

The lesson is concluded by discussing the changes we can implement in our lives which will make a difference to the levels of marine plastics pollution.

This is one of three lessons. The lessons introduce students to the breadth and depth of the ocean and the wonder of the creatures that inhabit it.

The unit goes on to explore some of the many ways we depend on the ocean and asks students to write to the Secretary of State for the Environment expressing their concerns about ocean health.

The unit then reviews what is meant by ocean plastics pollution and encourages students to critically appraise information from different media sources.

Students then go on investigate possible career opportunities within this field. At the end of these three lessons students will be fully prepared to embark on the full Key Stage 3 unit - Ocean Plastics 11-14.
